That looks like the later 52/53 Ford /Mercury car type. No rail switch on them. They had swing pedals so they didn't need the clutch fitting. There were even later ones on the Y-blocks.

It would be nice if someone put together a listing of all the different designs of the Borg Warner overdrive equipped transmissions. The list would be long though since so many manufacturers used them. Ford later used T85 & T86 versions. One has top loading gears and the other has the side load. Chrysler, GM, and AMC all had versions and they were all different too.
